For the second weekend in a row, the Dartmouth field hockey team swept both of its games this Saturday and Sunday, continuing its winning streak and maintaining its undefeated record against Ivy League opponents.

Following its largely successful preseason run, the Dartmouth women's volleyball team opened Ivy League play with a closely-contested 3-2 win over Harvard University on Saturday, marking the team's fifth straight win over the Crimson (7-4, 0-1 Ivy).
While co-captain Annie Villanueva '12 said the win did not necessarily showcase the Big Green's finest effort, she expressed satisfaction with the team's display of patience and discipline in the win.
"It was really intense back and forth play, but I really trusted that we were going to win," Villanueva said.
Co-captain Amber Bryant '12 agreed, calling the game a "grind" in spite of her belief that the Big Green could conquer the Crimson.
The Big Green (9-3, 1-0 Ivy) jumped out to a 16-8 lead in the first set, but Harvard stormed to take a 20-19 lead of its own.

The Dartmouth men's and women's tennis teams were both in action this weekend, with the men's team in New York participating in the USTA Billie Jean King NTC Men's College Invitational, while the women's team was in Providence, R.I., at the Brown Invitational.
The men's team found success in singles play, with five Big Green athletes advancing to the semi-finals and three of those players qualifying for the finals.
"I thought we did really well," Christopher Ho '12 said.

To the Editor:
Hopefully, the newspaper's Verbum Ultimum, "Your Opinions Here," Sept. 23, will not be a "last word," but the beginning of a lively debate as to what the opinion page of The Dartmouth should look like.
While the invitation to students to become engaged in writing commentaries is a good start, that enjoinder is a bit narrow.

And so it begins: the controversial and rumor-plagued meal plan proposal of last Spring is the new dining reality for a skeptical mob of upperclassmen and a guinea pig class of freshmen locked into the largest plan.

For most of film history, sound designers and composers have worked behind the scenes to craft sounds that are now part of our cultural lexicon the roar of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, an iconic tapping of dancers in the rain and the screeching violins now synonymous with terror.

Diversity is a popular buzzword these days, but for all the progress towards diversity that we've made in several particular areas, there is one major realm in which intellectual homogeny still reigns: our politics.
This homogeny exists both theoretically and practically.
